Love Island’s JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez Break Up: What Happened?

The couple dated for nearly a year, supporting each other through a long-distance relationship

JaNa Craig (28) and Kenny Rodriguez (25) were fan favorites on Season 6 of Love Island USA, ultimately finishing in third place. Their connection extended beyond the villa, with the couple dating for nearly a year and supporting each other through a long-distance relationship—JaNa in Las Vegas and Kenny in Dallas.

Their romance was even featured in the spin-off series Love Island: Beyond the Villa, where they navigated post-show life in Los Angeles, choosing to live in separate rooms to maintain privacy and personal space.

On Sunday morning, July 27, 2025, TMZ reported that the couple had ended their relationship. Just a day after they appeared affectionate while attending David Dobrik’s birthday bash on Saturday, July 26.

Fans began to suspect something was wrong when JaNa unfollowed Kenny on Instagram, removed photos of him from her profile, and erased other references to their relationship. Meanwhile, Kenny also removed mentions of JaNa from his bio, though he still follows her, as noted by Glamour.

The social media distancing extended beyond the couple. JaNa’s close friends and fellow villa co-stars—Serena Page and Leah Kateb, along with their partners—also unfollowed Kenny.

Several Factors May Have Contributed to the Split

According to E! Online, long-distance challenges were likely a key factor. Even after leaving the villa, JaNa and Kenny continued to balance their relationship while living in separate cities.

Personal space needs may have also played a role, as Decider reports. Kenny had emphasized his need for boundaries and privacy. While filming the spin-off, he chose to rent a room next to JaNa’s rather than move in together. JaNa supported this decision, noting that she appreciated not rushing into cohabitation and allowing the relationship to develop at its own pace.

JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez’s breakup appears to be quietly definitive. The split reflects the complexities of transitioning a reality-show romance into a lasting real-world relationship—and highlights how personal boundaries, distance, and differing needs can impact even the most beloved pairings.

While fans remain saddened, both have continued their careers—JaNa with brand deals and social media presence and nothing suggests reconciliation is on the horizon.
